We're putting out an all-points-bulletin for some missing foods. But first, thanks to the readers who helped us find the following items.

FOUND

Great news for Dyanne Zajic and other fans of white hots, the hot dogs from Rochester, N.Y. Danetti's Kitchen in the Lake Forest Shopping Center on State Road 46 in Sanford, serves Zweigle's hots. You can buy a six-pack of Zweigle's for $6.95. Call 407-302-7660.

Maryann Giacin can find baking ammonia at Mr. Dunderbak's in Daytona Beach. Or she can order it from The Baker's Catalog at 1-800-827-6836.

Here's some news for Larry Bornstein, who's been looking for Nestle milk chocolate in large bars. Nestle does not make large milk chocolate bars. For more information, call Nestle's consumer relations department at 1-800-637-8537.

Phyllis Stockwell of Clermont will be pleased to learn that she can find Campbell's Chunky split pea soup with ham in the 19-ounce cans at Publix stores.

Bad news for the reader searching for artificial sweetener Sweeta: It has been discontinued by the manufacturer.

Good news for the Lake Mary reader searching for the type of pork tenderloin that she used to buy in New York. Another New York transplant has come to your rescue. She suggests that you try the Albertson's store in Altamonte Springs, where she has found the same item in plastic, shrink-wrapped packages. There, it is sold as ``pork butt.''

Here's some news for Virginia Wilson, who was searching for a Pennsylvania favorite, kluski noodles. Mrs. Weiss Kluski Noodles are not widely available in Florida - except at some small stores in the Panhandle. However, she can order a case of kluski noodles from the New World Pasta Group, a division of Hershey. Call 1-800-227-2782. The noodles are available in 8-ounce and 16-ounce packages. A case of 8-ounce packages costs $8.22, plus $6 shipping. A case of 16-ounce packages costs $14.64, plus $6 shipping.

Reeses canned hearts of palm are at the Publix stores at Hunt Club and Oviedo and Winn-Dixie in Fern Park.

Here's some news for Howard Miller of Orlando. Archway dark molasses cookies were spotted at the Winn-Dixie in Fern Park about a month ago, but our spy says she sees them only occasionally.

Marie Martin of Belle Isle can find Dungeness crabs at Lombardi's in Altamonte Springs and Winter Park. Also, they are at the Publix in Clermont.

Betty Baertschi of Clermont: A reader has found Cook's ham at the Wal-Mart Supercenter at the intersection of John Young Parkway and Sand Lake Road.

More on the whole-wheat English muffins: Chamberlin's has them in the shop's frozen bread section.
